Abstract: This study investigated the influence of sexual content on social media information in the violent sexual behaviour of adolescents in Africa. The study is anchored by the social learning theory of Bandura in which learning by imitation is emphasised. Total enumeration was adopted for the study since the population was accessible to the researchers. Media Influence Scale (r = 0.79) and Violent Sexual Behaviour Scale (r = 0.82) were used for data collection while frequency counts, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test and Pearson product statistics were used for data analysis. It was shown from the results that there was no significant difference between male and female adolescents' violent sexual (Crit-t = 1.96, Cal.t = −.978, DF = 93, p (.331) > .05 and that of adolescents from monogamous. Then, positive significant relationship existed between media factors and adolescents' violent sexual behaviour in Africa (r = .355, n = 95, p (.000) < 0.05).
